Preparation for the Workshop (under construction)

Please complete the following items prior to the course. Support will be provided as requested.

Please install the version of Slicer3 appropriate to the computer you will be bringing to the workshop:

To participate in the developer session, you'll need a set of development packages installed on your machine.

The exact packages vary by distribution, but include:

Ubuntu one line install:

sudo apt-get install subversion cvs tcl8.4 gcc g++ libX11-dev libXt-dev libxext-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libncurses5-dev tcsh

Also, be sure you have OpenGL and the GLX extension to X working. To check the installation, it is usually enough to confirm that the command

glxgears

runs with no errors.

Current requirements are:

Developer Studio 8 2005
- If they are installed in the default locations in "c:/Program Files" they will be detected by the build script automatically (you need to edit slicer_variables.tcl to point to the installation).
Cygwin with the following packages
- tcltk
- svn
- cvs
- unzip
- curl

Note: CMake and VTK will not work on a FAT formatted disk (use NTFS).

For Mac OS 10.4.10 install the following from the OS disks (not installed by default on new machines):

Xcode Tools (OS Disk 1, default window)
X11: also on OS Disk 1, but you need to scroll down and find the Optional Installs installer and select X11 under Applications. See step-by-step instructions.
X11SDK - from OS Disk 1, Xcode Tools/Packages/X11SDK.pkg
Subversion. Installation options here. Get the latest svn version for compatibility with the server and be sure your client includes SSL (so it can access https repositories).
